Hiya guys

I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting in the general section! I'm trying to find a 90/91 in white if possible? are they many around? if so do you know of any for sale? I'm not in a rush and will wait for a nice one to surface

Thanks

Which is why you've got two threads running in the last 24 hours :cartman:

:laugh:

What you're after is not impossible to find, but they're not exactly growing on trees like they were 15 years ago. You'll be very lucky to find one at the drop of a hat!

Sorry :ashamed:

I'm just seeing if they do exist lol, I guess I'll keep my eeyes peeled :agree:

Do they normally pop up in the For sale section or by word of mouth?

Thanks

Low mileage "minters" can turn up anywhere really. I've seen them pop up on classic car sales websites, Autotrader, and even Ebay. You've probably got less chance of finding one for sale on here than you have elseware. It's just a case of keeping your eyes open, and hoping for a little bit of luck. As I said, they are out there, but they're not ten a penny. I'm sure one will turn up, but be prepared for a long wait.

+1.

I bought a 1989 GTT with 92,000 miles, yet it feels and drives tight as a nut. It's in pretty damn good condition as well, bar a few little bits.

True but i'm after a phase 2, personnel preference :) has to be standard or as near as, with low miles in white, alot to ask I know but cash & a good home is waiting :)

I have one of each tucked away. :D They are not mk1 rs turbos but S1 (Series 1) and a Mk 3 Escort.

is that a c plater mike?....what they called the 'custom'..?
what was special about it because wasnt there there a b plate before that?

12-12-2010, 17:30

That rs turbo is really nice, get some more pictures up, i have never owned a rs turbo, my mate had one and my brother has a rs1600i long time ago.

I bet you never drive the thing, i would be scared to.

i have never quite understood why a mint series one can sell for 10k all day long but a mint gtt probably more like 4K :confused:

Hi J they came out on B, C and D reg. A custom meant it has a sunroof & electric windows. Non customs are rarer.

Yeh three years is a long time buddy, going downhill was selling a very tidy oe white J plate 5 a few months back, think he desided to keep it in the end. Might be worth sending him a PM. check out classifieds!

Good Luck, hope you find what your looking for, maybe when you do you could bring it along to National Day 2015.

I did PM downhill but as you mentioned he's decided to keep it, can't blame him as it's a nice motor but hopefully he'll sell in the future :)

I think you would be quite silly not to buy Mikes tungy for £2995 just because it is not white or a J plate. Thats like things my mrs. would say when looking for a car (no offence). If that is like the last one you sold Mike which i'm assuming it is , it is well worth the money.

Hold out for a J reg if that's what you really want. If you buy anything else a J plate will appear the following week guaranteed...!

I looked for ages for the same - admittedly I did have to compromise and bought a cat c with a damaged front cross member (probably paid a bit too much for it as well) but it is what I wanted and will be mint when finished and only has 71k on the clock.

Good luck in your search
